5/31... angels game 3

[Garmel]

Washington is supposed to be an infield guru but it sure isn't showing this year.

[chop2chip]

I think the question is what do his prior two years mean before being with the braves. We're there reasons for his poor play that are no longer applicable? Kemp is closing in now on 4 months of great production with the braves.

That's the thing, "projection"

I understand being pessimistic about his production moving forward, but his actual production with the Braves has been nothing short of stellar.

There is this obsession with being right about everything that we sometimes forget to enjoy the moment.

On the other side of that coin, Dansby has been a real boner killer this year.

[nsacpi]

Credit Snit for having the foresight to realize that the team might benefit from having some speed at first base.

Jamie Garcia is pitching his ass off this year. Unfortunate we don't have another year of control. If the return isn't great I'd like to resign him.

If he keeps pitching this way the return should be pretty damn good for a legit LH starter around the trade deadline. I'm not interested in signing an injury prone 30+ starter to a long term deal.

If he hits 1 do I get to pick my own sig like the cheese dick zb did when he lost the bet to me haha?

Nah, I think I'll let the board decide your sig

Bravo. Well said

[USMA76]

Dansby is so lost at the plate that it's like still having a pitcher in the batting order.

[msstate7]

Swanson struggling, but at least Ks are way down. Last 11 games in 38 PAs, Swanson has K'd 6 times (15.8%) and walked 4 times (10.5%). He's getting no hits though... seems everything is on the ground instead of those nice linedrives he was hitting

A slider to Dansby Swanson is like a curveball was to Pedro Cerrano.

Garcia's era is now 3.28.

[TheBravos]

Dansby will be fine....he was rushed. He will learn. The errors worry me more than the hitting.

Which means he'll go on the DL with shoulder soreness a week before the trade deadline 😂

[msstate7]

Phillips is having a good year, but I hate him hitting 2nd. He's a DP machine. Hit and run

[USMA76]

Walking EY to lead off an inning...not good.

I was going to say, if Coppy receives any good offers for Garcia he should trade him ASAP. No need to risk a situation like Viz last year where we wait to long to trade an injury prone pitcher.

[Ozzie Swanson]

WHY THE HELL IS JACE PLAYING?!

[Garmel]

We're going to lose this challenge.
